【Chapter 16】Buying road money

The caravan moves on

The road becomes steeper and narrower

At a glance, there are dense forests near and far, lush and green, with no end in sight

Once they entered the territory of Luohu Mountain, there were no inns along the way, which meant that everyone in the caravan had to go through the hard work of sleeping in the open air, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more depressing.

The mountain road was difficult to navigate. Zhou Jiu focused on driving the car and stopped talking. Therefore, Lei Xingkong had nothing to do. He could only pick up a branch to show his strokes and study his sword skills alone.

"Whoa!"

The branch was swung out very quickly. Although it did not contain any internal energy, it drew a beautiful trajectory in the air, neatly and neatly, and made a gentle sound of breaking through the air.

"That's it, another move completed!"

Lei Xingkong waved the branch again as before, feeling secretly happy in his heart

During this period of time, he created a total of six sword moves

These six sword moves are the result of him integrating the sword moves he knew before after comprehending the ancient sword marks.

Every move he made was as fast as thunder, so Lei Xingkong named this set of sword techniques "Thunder Sword" to embed his last name in it.

The names of these six sword moves are: Xing Kong, Qian Jun, Jing Yun, Po An, Fei Gu, and Zhan Lie.

Among them, Xingkong and Qianjun are his and his father's names respectively. Together with the name of Ben Lei Dao's sword technique, it can also be regarded as a kind of commemoration.

Of course, he created these six sword moves, which is just the beginning. As he continues to spend time thinking about it, he can create more sword moves, which will naturally make this set of Ben Lei Dao complete.

Just about to continue thinking——

The speed of the convoy in front gradually slowed down, and after a while, it came to a complete stop.

"Uncle Zhou, what's wrong?"

Lei Xingkong threw away the branch in his hand and asked

Zhou Jiuzhong tightened the reins and replied: "Ahead is the mountain temple of Luohu Mountain. We are afraid we will have to wait here all night."

"Wait all night?"

Lei Xingkong was stunned for a moment and asked quickly: "What are you waiting for?"

Zhou Jiuzhong said: "This mountain temple is where we paid the Luohushan bandits to pay for their journey."

"oh?"

Lei Xingkong couldn't help but glance forward. Sure enough, he saw a mountain temple there.

The temple is not big, and it only takes a few dozen steps to walk around it. It is in tatters, the mountain god's face is mottled, and a lot of the original paint has fallen off.

Zhou Jiuzhong whispered: "Put the money to buy the road in front of the altar table in the mountain temple. The bandits from Luohu Mountain will send someone to pick it up tonight. If they are satisfied, they will take the money away. If they are not satisfied, they will keep it."

Send me a letter and ask for more”

Lei Xingkong thought for a while and asked curiously: "If the two parties can't reach an agreement, what will happen to the money for the road?"

Zhou Jiuzhong replied: "If the bandits from Luohu Mountain demand too high a price, we can only turn back the way we came and take a detour. Otherwise, if we dare to take even one step further along the mountain road behind the mountain temple, they will immediately send

Ren Jie said, by then it will no longer be money to buy the road, the entire convoy will be robbed by them."

After a slight pause, Zhou Jiuzhong smiled again and said: "But don't worry, the Luohu Mountain bandits paid fairly for the passage. As long as they collect the money, they will let us go and will never come to trouble us."

Lei Xingkong understood and said: "So, we will spend the night here tonight."

"It should be!" Zhou Jiuzhong nodded and said: "Go to bed early tonight. If everything goes well, we will set off before dawn tomorrow."

really--

Not long after Zhou Jiuzhong spoke...

Someone was quickly sent over from the front and ordered everyone to stop their cars and rest on the spot.



at night

Even in sleep, Lei Xingkong's six senses are still extremely sensitive

Suddenly, he heard a rustling sound coming from the mountain temple...

Opening his eyes, Lei Xingkong took a look

In the darkness, I saw a few figures appearing quickly and then leaving quickly.

Lei Xingkong thought for a while, turned over, closed his eyes again, and fell asleep again.



One night passed

The next day, it's still dark

The caravan started its journey earlier than usual.

Zhou Jiuzhong skillfully set out in a carriage. As he drove the carriage, he smiled at Lei Xingkong and said, "It seems that the bandit who paid for the passage to Hushan has already accepted it. We are lucky this time and we don't need to pay more."

Lei Xingkong bit into the wheat cake and asked, "What if those thieves regret it?"

Zhou Jiuzhong thought for a while and replied: "Normally after they collect the money, they won't come back again. If they don't keep their word, then we will have to fight hard..."

While talking, Zhou Jiuzhong patted the wood on the edge of the car under his buttocks and made a "bang bang bang" sound. Apparently there was a hidden compartment under the wooden board, and then continued: "We drivers are always running around, it's a good thing

Trouble will happen, and everyone has something with them. If those thieves really don't keep their word, well, even if we risk our lives, we have to teach them how powerful we are."

Lei Xingkong nodded and stopped asking.

It is impossible for a person like Zhou Jiuzhong who makes a living by driving cars to have no ability to protect himself.

If those bandits and robbers come to hijack cars and goods after receiving money, they will have to consider what to do if the convoy fights with them... If there is no special reason, those bandits probably are not willing to do such rebellious things.



After passing the mountain temple and continuing along the mountain road, the caravan headed deeper into Luohu Mountain.

In comparison, the forest in Luohu Mountain is denser than that in Lianyun Mountain. All you see along the way are dense forests. Because there are so many trees, the forest is deep and dark. From time to time, you can hear the sounds of unknown animals.

It gives people a gloomy feeling

One day passes in the blink of an eye

The convoy traveled the mountain road all day, and Deacon Li found a relatively spacious place early to settle down for the night.

Lin Shen was exposed, and Deacon Li specially ordered people to light more than ten bonfires to keep everyone away from the cold.

The young master who was protected by the Yulin Army in the north probably couldn't stand the cold air in the mountains and forests, so he finally couldn't help but get out of the luxurious carriage and went to one of the bonfires to keep warm.

Like everyone else, Lei Xingkong saw this young master for the first time.

The guy was around twenty years old, short in stature, with a fat face, and he looked quite energetic.

He sat in front of the bonfire, and the eight Yulin troops were very aggressive and immediately cleared the place for him, shouting and shouting. In an instant, no one in the caravan dared to go near him anymore.

Lei Xingkong glanced at it and didn't pay much attention. He quickly finished his dry food and climbed into the carriage to sleep.

Leaning quietly on the soft goods, Lei Xingkong's mind slowly circulated with the Canglong energy in his body. The abundant earth energy in the mountain forest quickly gathered and flowed into him with every breath he took.

in the body

In these few days, the spleen's Canglong energy has been accumulated a lot. If he continues to walk in the mountains and forests and absorbs such stable and pure earth energy, he will be able to accumulate enough in about five or six days.

More Canglong energy, tempering the spleen

"It's still a little short, take your time..."

Lei Xingkong thought to himself, his whole mind completely immersed in cultivation.
